Back in overalls and safety boots, onsite installing communications technology into customers sites was an enjoyable change after all the years behind a desk. Being a practically minded person I really enjoyed working with other trade staff and it was a good feeling to be able to install the physical infrastructure and then to provide ICT services that utilised this infrastructure for the customer. (Most people don't get to see what's behind the plugs and in the walls of their buildings) Back in overalls and safety boots, onsite installing communications technology into customers sites was an enjoyable change after all the years behind a desk.
